crustyjuggler Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Apologies if anyone has posted this before or if it's a well know problem. I'm in my 4th season with Birmingham and my defenders constantly concede penalties. I originally had them on tough tackling, but have reduced that to normal then to easy - but the problem remains. Any suggestions? It's costing me A LOT of points TIA x Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertcornell68 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Do you let your ass man set individual opponent instructions? If so, he'll set tacking to ultra-hard and it will over-ride you sensible settings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTime Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 If your defenders have a high aggresion stat or low tackling that could be the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgar555 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Tackling isn't the only thing to worry about with pens/fouls in general. firstly as pointed out by robertc, most assmans are pyschotic and will set your players to hard tackle most of the oppo's team if you let him do OI. Moving on from that you need to analyse what kind of pens they are giving away. Are you overcommitting players forward or pusing the d-line up higher than your defenders can handle, thus having defenders chasing back and attempting risky last ditch tackles? Are your defenders closing down too much and getting too tight on attackers and fouling them this way? Are your defenders overly aggressive and therefore prone to going in hard no matter what you tell them? Or is their creative freedom too high to the extent that they are ignoring your instructions?

AndyRich Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Yeah, ass man is only reasonable for team talks, never let him do opponent instructions, im pretty sure this is your problem solved Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Furia Roja Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 i seem to remember rading that defenders that have 'dive into tackles' as a ppm are more prone as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
